Cape Tribulation Where the Rain Forest meets the Great Barrier Reef

Port Douglas lookout	4 wheel drive tour busses are necessary for Cape Tribulation trips	You can see the jelly fish safe swimming net is a good idea here this time of the year
I cant believe they didn't have Aspen on here	This swimming hole was a great place to cool off	A skank lizard trying to blend in
Mossman Gorge	Swinging bridge	The inside of a hollow tree
2 meter 27 year old crock	Can you find the one year old crock in this picture	These soda straw looking things are breathing snorkels from the trees roots
There is a two year old crock in this picture	Mangrove roots	The ferry into the national park. It is a huge park and all buildings have only solar power
Our tour boat on the Daintree River	Fern centre	Fern tips
An ant nest in a orange tree	Nice red	So pretty
Lunch was included in the tour. The fish was very fresh and all tasted like home cooked	Most of these fruits were new to me	This fig tree grew around another tree killing it then the other tree decomposed
Looking up the centre of the fig tree	Inside the fig tree with the flash on	Root systems are very important in the swamp
More roots	And more fungus	This bird makes the worlds largest nest 3 meters of dirt
Some light gets through in places	These trees get fresh water at low tide and salt water at hi tide	The canopy is very dense in places
The shaft of this palm was so red	Fungus caps. This was my favourite	It was very hard to shoot the rain forest
